Good luck to you and your wife on a new baby coming and the C5. I heard you say you have had fast cars and bikes. So please be careful For everyones sake. That car can Kill you if you don't respect it. Great buy.

Good deal at that price. You could always part it out if it blows up and break even.

Cool, a good way for your first time is doing a WOW+ (wide open Wednesday plus) during the season we do these second Wednesday of every month you get a twenty minute session with a instructor for 55.00 and they limit it to 10 cars on the track to keep the first time stress down. Check the UTAH NASA web site for dates!

$3500!!!! You my friend, suck, lol. How comeI never find a deal like this? And a $140 for a radiator? That's mighty cheap too.
Good video, well put together. Never use a car wash brush on a Corvette, it's a sin.
Lastly, pretty wife and congrats on the baby!

True, but did you see the water bead when he washed it? Previous must of took care of it a little by waxing it.
Throw a Tiger Shark front bumper and that will be one heck of a pretty C5.
